Dirty Projectors: New Single, Deradoorian Solo EP, Tour

No time to waste here: Brooklyn's Dirty Projectors have a lot going on. The band will release their first single on new labelDomino on April 21. It's called "Byond Uquafina" and it will be released on CD and 12", backed by B-side "The Bride" and instrumental, a cappella, and Lucky Dragons remix versions of the title track. Info on their two full-length follow-ups to 2007's Rise Above * (one for Domino and one for Dead Oceans) are still murky...probably because the band is keeping busy with other things. Like that song with David Byrne on the __Dark Was the Night*__ compilation.

That's not it. Main Projector David Longstreth has composed a piece of music that will be premiered by Bang on a Can April 2 at New York City's Kaufman Center. (A work by Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo will also be played that night.)

And Projector Angel Deradoorian is readying her first solo EP, Mind Raft, under the name Deradoorian for a May 5 release on Lovepump United. (Track list below.) You can listen to some of her songs on MySpace.

Dirty Projectors will get together for a few U.S. shows in late February and will hit SXSW before a string of UK dates starting the end of March.
